I spent nearly six years as an assistant and analyst for Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee, Richard Kipperman.
As a bankruptcy analyst and trustee assistant, I reviewed and annotated all of the cases (including schedules and S.O.F.A’s) assigned to Trustee Kipperman by the bankruptcy court. Annotating included flagging filing errors, recommending actions or best practices, and highlighting points that required the trustee’s attention. I was also responsible for managing supporting document due diligence; organizing and reviewing all supporting documents associated with each case, as well as investigating any documents or other anomalies. Included in my daily work I was responsible for deep digging and investigation, analysis of financial statements and financial accounts, legal research, and coordinating with the various attorneys or professionals involved in each case.
Additionally, I was responsible for administering all tangible and intangible Chapter 7 bankruptcy assets in accordance with federal bankruptcy code. I performed asset analysis for every case and reported on potential recovery and return to the Trustee. I also created asset monetization plans as needed. I worked very closely with the Trustee and his counsel, debtors and creditors' and their respective counsel, to facilitate efficient asset disposition and maximize return to the bankruptcy estate. In the event of equity settlements or cash receivables, I also oversaw settlement negotiations and managed accounts receivable collection.
